# Get go-to-market right before you launch

Litebox is a GTM agency for B2B software, built to work with pre-seed and seed companies too: teams with a product still in progress or just launched, where the brand, site, and positioning need to be right before the rest of go-to-market can work. The goal here is getting that foundation right the first time, before spending anywhere else.

## Key facts

- **Services:** GTM agency for B2B software, running four disciplines under one team: branding, websites, product design, and growth.
- **Public cases:** Some of the technical software companies we've worked with: MotherDuck, CodeRabbit, Browserbase, Keycard, CopilotKit, and gbox.
- **Segment:** Pre-seed and seed startups, pre-launch or just launched.
- **Model:** Project or retainer.
- **Marketing team:** None yet.
- **Proof:** Bugster's full brand system: 10 weeks, June to August 2025.

## Pre-launch, the budget goes to brand, the first website, and positioning that holds up

That budget breaks down into three things: who the brand is, what the site says on day one, and how the story holds up once real users show up. Litebox works with pre-seed and seed software startups that have already raised a round and have a product in progress or just launched, prioritizing the foundation over anything that depends on traffic that doesn't exist yet. Being early-stage doesn't change who's on the team: the same senior staff who run later-stage engagements scope an early one down to what's needed, while keeping the same level of attention. What doesn't make sense this early: a growth program planned for a site that isn't live yet, or a content calendar for an audience that hasn't found the product.

## Brand and the first site come before growth work

We run branding, websites, product design, and growth as one team, and for an early-stage engagement that usually means starting with the first two: a brand identity and a first site designed to carry the story past launch, without needing to redo it once growth work starts.

## Bugster's full brand system took 10 weeks, start to finish

### Bugster

Bugster came to us pre-launch, needing a brand identity and positioning before the product had real users. We ran the engagement in order: brand and positioning first, then the initial site, then a plan for the growth work to start once there was traffic to build on. The full brand system took 10 weeks, from June to August 2025. In our experience, a site made before the brand is set is the one that gets redone, and soon, which is why getting the order right the first time costs less than fixing it later.

## The answers we'd give you on a first call

### What can you get done before launch on a tight budget?

Before launch, most early-stage budgets go to three things: brand identity, the first version of the site, and positioning that holds up once users show up. Paid acquisition and a full content program work better once there's a live product people can find.

### What shouldn't you do yet?

Skip a growth program, a content calendar, or an SEO push before the site and brand are locked. Spending there before the foundation is set usually means redoing that work once the product and audience are clearer.

### Do you work with pre-seed companies?

Most early-stage clients are pre-seed or seed, already raised a round, with a product either still in progress or just launched. Litebox scopes the engagement to what's needed at that stage rather than a standard full package.

### How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on scope, and an early-stage engagement usually starts smaller than a full brand-to-growth package. Go to pricing for what's included at each stage.

### How long does the first site take?

Turnaround depends on scope, but a first site typically moves in phases: brand and positioning first, then a build sized to what's actually needed for launch, not a full site with every feature growth might need later. Get in touch and we'll scope a timeline to what you're building.

### What happens after launch?

Most clients move into growth work, like SEO, AEO, and content, once there's a product and audience to build on. The brand and site built at this stage are meant to carry into that next phase without a rebuild.
